This is an uncoated Ideal Vacuum Cube adapter plate that converts a 12 x 12 Cube frame opening to two 6 x 12 inch openings. The 6 x 12" opening accepts any 6 x 12 Cube plate, greatly expanding porting options for pumping and feedthroughs, or viewing options. The plate is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and is uncoated for bakeout to 150°C, the limit of the Viton sealing O-ring.
Note that this Cube adapter plate is thicker than other plates (to maintain plate rigidity) and therefore uses 1/2" long socket head cap screws for mounting to the 12" x 12" frame side. The 6 x 12 plates mount with the usual 1/4"-20 x 5/16" long screws.

- 12 x 12 to two 6 x 12 adapter plate
